The Suffering Servant--Isaiah 53:10-12

"Yet it was the Lord's good plan
to bruise him and fill him with grief.
but when his soul has been made an offering for sin,
then he shall have a multitude of children, many heirs.
And when he sees all that he has accomplished
by the anguish of his soul,
he shall be satisfied;
and because of what he has experienced,
my righteous Servant shall make many to be counted
righteous before God;
for he shall bear all their sins.
Therefore I will give him the honors of one who is 
mighty and great,
because he has poured out his soul unto death.
He was counted as a sinner,
and he bore the sins of many,
and he pled with God for sinners."

Did you grasp those words?
"...when he sees all that he has accomplished
by the anguish of his soul,
he shall be satisfied."

Jesus is satisfed
He looks at you and I
and our robes of righteousness
made possible by his death
and 
he
is
satisfed

The heart of the Father
the heart of the Son
they beat for you and I

Hallelujah!
